An 'ecumenical' story to begin your day.

Has the Vatican authenticated this event?
I do not believe that Catholics can accept this as a "miracle " from God until the pope weighs in .


Seems to me , that different people saw different things, this sounds like a group hysteria .

Have you ever looked at a cloud that looked like something ?

This does prove the effect of group hysteria IMO

I heard about this after it originally happened. The Pastor of my parish, Fr. Leon, told our Carmelite group about it. The two priests involved had contacted him after it happened and he had asked them why they hadn't notified the Bishop during the almost hour that it was observed. He told us that the priest felt rather foolish for not calling the Bishop immediately. This happened in the chapel of what was the older Church built before there new Church was built. They are still maintaining the older Church since it is part of the grounds where they have a school. Even though this is pretty close to where I live I have never visited their previous Chapel. While I found the story interesting and relying on my pastor's opinion to be credible, I don't worry about following signs. That Jesus is in the Eucharist is already something I firmly believe and I would prefer to rely on the eyes of faith.

Fr. Leon also told us that one of the people there that he talked to was upset that his wife who is a convert saw it and that he as a cradle Catholic did not. I would hope that I myself would not react that way. That hopefully I would rejoice in a visible sign given my wife and to rejoice that perhaps God thought that my faith was strong enough with out it.

Your headline is misleading. They weren't Baptists. The story says, "former Baptists".

The headline at the source: PRIEST AND DOZENS OF OTHERS WITNESSED UNUSUAL IMAGES IN BLESSED SACRAMENT

"I perceive that in all things ye are too superstitious." (Acts 17:22)

The pagan superstitions of the dark and occultic religion of the papists are very evident in this post - and in the hysterical responses to it by its adherents.
